    Here’s the thing: they’re saying it’s him, but the evidence is poor and suspicious, and they’ve been making lots of procedural “mistakes” trying to put him away. Like way too many obvious mistakes that you just can’t afford to make in a case like this.

    Maybe he did it, maybe he just vaguely looks like a guy in a low-quality photo near the scene of the crime.

    I think there are enough issues with the entire process that I wouldn’t assume he’s definitely the guy. But he’s the face that’s been associated with the so called crime, and it gives people something to rally around.

      Not chiming in on whether or not he is the guy, but the police making mistakes should be considered standard procedure. They’re only “competent” in movies and TV shows, so we shouldn’t assume they fucking up as evidence for anything besides it being a Monday.
